I've bought a 1TB 980 Pro from Aliexpress that's scheduled to be delivered this week. Paid about $110, the same price from reputable stores such as BestBuy (but choose to buy it from Ali since it was way cheaper than local stores - I'm not located in North America).
Thanks for posting this. Now I will double check the components below the sticker once my unit arrives - and will file a complaint if the drive turns out to be fake.
- zamadatix 4y agoAnother option is to leave it be and run a speed test to see if it performs as expected. This may result in less runaround if you have a real drive but need to RMA.
- leonidasv 4y agoTurns out the drive is original and perform as expected. The components match original specifications and the board is clearly different from the fake news and identical to original ones. The performance speed hits the expected 6,500~7,000 MB/s for read. Samsung Magic also labels the drive as "Genuine".
